Members are welcome to work on personal projects of all kinds. Each session includes a monitor who can answer questions, although no specific instruction is provided. The etching press is available for supervised use by those who are not yet certified for independent use. Letterpress equipment may only be used by those who are certified. The last half hour is devoted to cleanup.
